Multiband Gravitational Wave Cosmography with Dark Sirens
Brian C. Seymour, Hang Yu, Yanbei Chen
Gravitational waves might help resolve the tension between early and late Universe measurements of the Hubble constant, and this possibility can be enhanced with a gravitational wa…
Uncertainty and bias of cosmology and astrophysical population model from statistical dark sirens
Hang Yu, Brian Seymour, Yijun Wang +1
Gravitational-wave (GW) radiation from a coalescing compact binary is a standard siren as the luminosity distance of each event can be directly measured from the amplitude of the s…
Exposing Gravitational Waves below the Quantum Shot Noise
Hang Yu, Denis Martynov, Rana X Adhikari +1
The sensitivities of ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) detectors are limited by quantum shot noise at a few hundred Hertz and above. Nonetheless, one can use a quantum-correlati…
Nonlinear noise regression in gravitational-wave detectors with convolutional neural networks
Hang Yu, Rana X. Adhikari
Currently, the sub-60 Hz sensitivity of gravitational-wave (GW) detectors like Advanced LIGO is limited by the control noises from auxiliary degrees of freedom, which nonlinearly c…
Detecting gravitational lensing in hierarchical triples in galactic nuclei with space-borne gravitational-wave observatories
Hang Yu, Yijun Wang, Brian Seymour +1
Stellar-mass binary black holes (BBHs) may merge in the vicinity of a supermassive black hole (SMBH). It is suggested that the gravitational-wave (GW) emitted by a BBH has a high p…

L. McCuller, S. E. Dwyer, A. C. Green +194
Gravitational Wave interferometers achieve their profound sensitivity by combining a Michelson interferometer with optical cavities, suspended masses, and now, squeezed quantum sta…
Early warning of coalescing neutron-star and neutron-star-black-hole binaries from nonstationary noise background using neural networks

The success of the multi-messenger astronomy relies on gravitational-wave observatories like LIGO and Virgo to provide prompt warning of merger events involving neutron stars (incl…
Tides in the high-eccentricity migration of hot Jupiters: Triggering diffusive growth by nonlinear mode interactions
Hang Yu, Nevin N. Weinberg, Phil Arras
High eccentricity migration is a possible formation channel for hot Jupiters. However, in order for it to be consistent with the observed population of planets, tides must circular…
Approaching the motional ground state of a 10 kg object
Chris Whittle, Evan D. Hall, Sheila Dwyer +197
The motion of a mechanical object -- even a human-sized object -- should be governed by the rules of quantum mechanics. Coaxing them into a quantum state is, however, difficult: th…
LIGO Detector Characterization in the Second and Third Observing Runs
D. Davis, J. S. Areeda, B. K. Berger +284
The characterization of the Advanced LIGO detectors in the second and third observing runs has increased the sensitivity of the instruments, allowing for a higher number of detecta…
Environmental Noise in Advanced LIGO Detectors
P. Nguyen, R. M. S. Schofield, A. Effler +215
The sensitivity of the Advanced LIGO detectors to gravitational waves can be affected by environmental disturbances external to the detectors themselves. Since the transition from…
Point absorbers in Advanced LIGO
Aidan F. Brooks, Gabriele Vajente, Hiro Yamamoto +198
Small, highly absorbing points are randomly present on the surfaces of the main interferometer optics in Advanced LIGO. The resulting nano-meter scale thermo-elastic deformations a…
Tidally excited oscillations in hot white dwarfs

We study the flux variation in helium white dwarfs (WDs) induced by dynamical tides for a variety of WD models with effective temperatures ranging from =10 kK to =26 kK. At l…
Hunting for Dark Matter Subhalos in Strong Gravitational Lensing with Neural Networks
Joshua Yao-Yu Lin, Hang Yu, Warren Morningstar +2
Dark matter substructures are interesting since they can reveal the properties of dark matter. Collisionless N-body simulations of cold dark matter show more substructures compared…
